Brother Inshaal looks at why we assume Muslim majority countries are Islamic, when if you look at the evidence you would be shocked to discover which countries, in the world, are actually most Islamic.

The True Claim
It is universally agreed that until 1901 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s claim was that of a mujaddid, despite use of the titles Promised Messiah and Mahdi. Some claim that in 1901 he changed his claim to that of a prophet. We use a quotation from one of his major works produced in 1908 to show that he always claimed to be a mujaddid and not a prophet.
‘The True Succession’ now available on Amazon
Dr Zahid Aziz’s latest book, ‘The True Succession: Founding of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement’, is now available to purchase from the Amazon Book Shop.
This book is an account of the founding, in 1914, of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at Islam at Lahore (then in India, now Pakistan), and covers the background, the events and the issues in relation to the creation, objectives and work of this organization.
It aims to show that this body was created to save the mission of propagation of Islam started by the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and to preserve his teachings and beliefs, in the face of the grave threat that arose within the Movement to undermine its true character.
This book was originally published to mark the centenary of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at Islam Lahore. Time has vindicated its interpretation of the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in two ways. Firstly, today that interpretation is showing the light to the Muslim world as to how to resolve its intractable problems; but that topic is beyond the scope of this book. Secondly, the Lahore Ahmadiyya view of his claims and beliefs has triumphed over the erroneous standpoint of the group which believes him to be a prophet and treats all other Muslims as outside the fold of Islam.
[Video] Signs of True Faith
Every nation claims to love God but what we want to know is whether Allah loves them. If Allah loves a people he cleanses their hearts of all doubt and becomes close enough to them to speak to them. He tells such men that He is present and they have found him. So by displaying His love for such people He shows that they are following the right path.

Which one of the two Ahmadi groups follows the true path
Maulana Azad was a famous scholar and contemporary of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He published many books on Islam and wrote an Urdu translation and commentary of the Holy Quran. He was also a prominent political leader and a member of the Congress Party in India. After independence he was, for a short time, President of India.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was once drawn by a correspondent of the daily Zamindar [16 June, 1936] of Lahore into the controversy as to the nature of the claims of the Founder of the Ahmadiyyah Movement and the rights of the Ahmadiyya communities to claim a position within Islam. Both these matters were set at rest by the Maulana in the very first passage of his first letter to the said correspondent thus:
“You enquire which one of the two Ahmadi groups follows the true path, the Qadian group or the Lahore one.

Lahori Ahmadis’ promoting true Islam to West
It is easy to mock and to ridicule. This does not require any effort and does nothing for the propagation of Islam.
Our opponents have mocked and ridiculed us, like court jesters but what have they done to promote the image of Islam in the West or, indeed, anywhere in the world? The picture below seems to sum it up.
In his recent book the independent historian and scholar Eric Germain looks at the way The Ahmadiyya Movement, with few resources, devoted itself to the propagation of Islam. The question then arises : Why did we expend such effort for propagation of Islam if we are not Muslims?
Keep mocking, we do not care. We will keep working to bring the true message of Islam to the people.
